Mechanical
Peugeot began their manufacturing operation in the early 1800s using kitchen equipment and hand-tools. They soon moved into umbrella frames and wire wheels, before becoming an early pioneer in bicycles and the first company to put rubber tires to their vehicles in 1892.

There is also a transponder chip inside them which provides extra security features to stop thieves from hotwiring your vehicle.

It could be caused by a cooling system leak or heavy acceleration. If this occurs, you should pull over and allow the engine to cool down. If the problem persists you should consult an Peugeot mechanic as soon as possible.
A red warning light that has two cars and a solitary star below a red outline is another common problem. This means that your Peugeot's forward collision detection system has been turned off and needs to be enabled.
Transponder

The chip has an unique number that is used as a "password" for the purpose of starting the engine. When you insert the key into the ignition, the chip transmits this password to the receiver in your car's immobilizer. If the code is valid, the car will start and you'll go on your way.
